Hi,

I'm in a hurry and I've got this question:
I want to make a help-file for MSAccess (2.0, Win 3.11) -forms, but I
don't understand how it works. I want to give users of my access
database a help function (a "F1" push in a form or form-object). I did
understand it had something to do with RTF-files, but I really don't
understand it.

I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance,

Thomas de Konink

In Access, You do only the reference to a help-file. This helpfile has to be
generated in RTF.
Afterwards, You'll need a Help-Compiler, especially designed to generate
hlp.files.
(Help-Magican pro as example)

You could also use MS Help Workshop: a Help-compiler included in
MS Office Developer Edition...
It's esy to use 'cause You can write the text with WORD (of any version) and
then
compile the .RTF files.
BYE!
